Hi, i just bought a Vaio VGN-A617S and face problems with the installation of VAIO Zone. It interrupts just after having started it. Has anybody had similar problems? what's the solution? thanks.
Hi chicetbeau and welcome to Club Vaio.
Can you give us a few more details of what happens when you launch Vaio Zone. Are you given any messages? What exactly happens?
I'm afraid we need a little more info.
dear blencogo,
i am not sure whether you got my yesterday's message.
so after having clicked on the vaio bar "CD/DVD" the "vaio zone installation" windows appears, asking whether the cable or the antenna are connected, whith the fields "cancel" and "continue". when i click on "continue", the whole windows closes down. we don't have cable tv in our building nor do i have a satellite dish, and i don't want to link the tv station (with terrestrian chains) to the computer anyhow. i also downloaded trial games from the www.zone.msn.com which can't be played neither as a error message appears: "access violation at 0x66003A78 (sometimes also ....77) (tried to write to 0x00030FFC) programme terminated." and the windows closes down. i cannot watch a video sequence, for example from a tv station over internet. in this case, the browser shuts completely down. session ended! do you think i have to reconfigure completely my vaio from the beginning, including uninstalling windows xp (home edition) and all other software, then configure/install vaio zone first before installing any other programmes? there seems to be a incompatibilty between vaio zone and other programmes. thanks for your assistance.
